Vox Review: V847 Wah Wah

Vox Guitar Effects



History:

Purchase: I first bought a V-amp multipeddal cuz I wanted a cheap Wah-Wah, But I dident like the sound on the V-amp, So I bought what I thougt was a better Wah-wah, Then I bought this one, It was abit better, but now I just think it was the same sound.. Can't remeber how mutch I payed, Accutaly a quite lot..

What I Like About This Vox V847 Wah Wah: I like the sound, BUT notice ; I diden't in the start, This peddal might take you a while if you walk around thinking "oh man I want that sound, hmm if I buy a V847 wah wah then it will sort the problem right"? WRONG! I wanted to song from Gnr - Mr.Brownstone (Solo) I bought this one and though i would get the sound, Well I was REALLY disapointed!

What I Do NOT Like About The Vox V847 Wah Wah: As mentioned, It might be alitte hartbreaker, Cuz it only makes on type of sound, And MOST likely it ain't the sound you have heard from a song.. I have now tested a hell alot of gear, Included Boss GT6, And i must say The gt 6 wah wah is better, WAY better, And ALMOST as heavy :P One more thing, This don't happend to many other i think, But mine is a litte silly somtimes.. Don't know why..

Vox V847 Wah Wah Quality Rating: You know that German tank.. Oh what's it name?? Tiger tank? Well the V847 Wah Wah is MORE SOLID, IT's FASTER, DELIVERS FASTER! I TREW this thing from one wall to another, jumped on it with my cowboys boots, i almost one times burned it, The only problem was the damn thing had WRONG battery , some idiot thought it would be fun, He's face WAS funny after i got to him! WEll egnough, This shit is SOLID, Belive me, GREAT FOR WAR , GREAT!



Review Summary: Be carefull when buying it, Don't say to the retailer , "I buy this one" Try it out, Compare , There is 1000th others wah wah's on the market, You might have to go up in price abit.. Bottom line : OK for some use, Dipends on your playing, AND this goes BEST with Fender guitars, I myself have a Gibson Les Paul, and the sound IS better on fender and or fender amp.s, Notice you are gonna burn on the wah wah, Somtime it will hit you that, OMFG is this a pieace of junk, 2 years later it become your personal buddy.. That's my Review, This has also been seen by my father, Who works in a guitar store, My brother is 35 and played since 13, Even the retailer took a look, And agreed in the most that writen here, Hope this helps!

VOX LYNX - Vox guitars where pretty much entry level type guitars. Made for use by kids playing in garage bands, not really designed for pro use,at least by todays standards. The collectable value is not much in dollars, but the scarce avalibility of old Vox gu...

Vox Pathfinder - It's a great practice and backstage amp. Regarding appearance, no practice amp comes close to its looks and appeal. Great-sounding and is built to last. ...

Vox Tonelab SE - As far as the effects....No one company makes the best of each type of effect. Find ones that sound good with the rig you play on. As far as the amp modeling pedal.....I only play tube amps and the concept of a modeling pedal is quirky at best. If yo...
